Games The recent release of the PS3 Slim brought about joy for those who were waiting for a less expensive/smaller gaming system and indignation for those who were waiting for a Linux experimental machine of the same type as there was no "OtherOS" or Linux option on this model. Why? we cry sadly. Because, the deep, omniscient voices of two Sony representatives boom back.

more secure

To all the people above : making it run linux actually makes it more secure.

The entire linux-must-run-on-my-toaster crowd is happy, so they will not try to hack your system.

But really, who wants to run linux on his ps3? It serves no purpose. I tried it, noticed no 3d hardware acceleration or any other cool stuff, and removed it.

And making something secure is really simple if you don't have many requirements. And since the ps3 is a gaming console, it really simple.
